Arrest details
Vishal was accused of tampering evidence
Vishal and his wife were arrested for allegedly trying to tamper with their son's blood samples after the incident.

Case background
Porsche case dates back to May 19, 2024
The Pune Porsche case dates back to May 19, 2024, when the Porsche allegedly driven by his minor son hit two software engineers, Anish Awadhiya and Ashwini Costa, killing them. The teen driver was granted bail within hours by the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB), which asked him to assist traffic police for 15 days and write an essay on road safety. However, the JJB later decided to try the teen as an adult, a decision they reversed a month later.
Family
Video is old, says family lawyers
In an exclusive conversation with News18, the accused family's lawyers said the video is old. "This video is from 2023, from their silver wedding anniversary. This is not a recent video at all. People have been giving false information. There has been no party," the lawyers said. "There are family members in the video who had gone for the celebration. There has been no new celebration."
